Chapter Six: Into The Battle-Fort

[Frontier Fort Ruins: A frontier ruin that was devastated beyond repair. Now, undead soldiers have become stronger from long-term bathing of the death aura of the past stand tall. They are now leading an unending and monotonous dictation to ensure that the ruins will be free of the invaders. A sad irony, they protect the fort without knowing that the war had already ended and their kingdom had already faded into the river of history.]

He sighed, he had been here before when the fort was still in top condition. Yes, he had played a scenario that involves this fort before. It was through a necromancer legacy quest, an S rank quest.

He got the quest at level fifty. At that time, he was only an apprentice mage. He was lucky to find a class promotion quest where he had to go through a scenario. Depending on a certain quest scenario, the class promotion may vary. However, he had gotten a legacy quest to promote into a necromancer. This is why he had a little history with this fort.

That's right, his class was a necromancer in his past life. At that time, he only had depressing thoughts and he didn't mind being a necromancer. However, he later realized that a necromancer had few advantages and many disadvantages. He could only regret it later.

However, using this chance. he will change everything. That's why he had chosen to be a tamer during the tutorial. A necromancer and a tamer have very distinct differences, but he feels that he can easily adjust. Also, he felt that being a tamer has more advantages than being a necromancer whose weakness is apparent (Blunt, light magic, soul core, etcetera).

Currently, he was creeping his way to the west wing of the fort. He knew that there was a secret passage leading into a secret chamber. There, he hopes that everything in there doesn't change. He knows for a fact that a magnificent unique item was hidden in the secret chamber and he knows where it was.

He went close to one of the crumbling walls that are near the center tower. Looking beyond, the wall doesn't seem to have any connection to a secret chamber. However, everything isn't what it seems. Some parts of the walls had already become rubble and he could already see a faint hollow interior.

The secret chamber was secretly concealed inside the wall. Only by removing the rubbles could a hallowed space appear in the line of the wall. A pathway was inside, though a bit small. It was enough for a person to walk through.

After a few twists and turns, he easily got into the secret chamber. Observing from the side, he could see a few skeleton shadows from the faint light through the few crumbled rooftops and a chained-up throne. However, the moment he made contact with the room floor, the ten skeleton soldiers inside begin to take action.

He smiled, even though he was outnumbered one to ten. He calmly made his stance, ready for any incoming attacks. The skeleton soldier's description is below:

The first skeleton soldier coming from the front gave him a flimsy stab with a spear in hand. He easily judged the time, parried, and grabbed the spear shaft before pummeling the first skeleton soldier's skull with the pummel of the basic sword.

The pummel is extremely useful during close combat and, most importantly, it's a blunt attack. This means a couple of hits to the skull and it's game over for the first skeleton soldier. Likewise, the rest of the skeleton soldiers were easily done in the same way after repeating the same action.

He decided to open his inventory. He wasn't checking the loot from the skeleton soldiers, but the emblem of change sitting quietly in his inventory. It was a few hours now and he had made good progress. He has decided to change classes now.

He could have verbally said yes, but he was someone who likes to keep things to himself. So, he presses 'yes' instead.

[Slot 1: >Tame (Basic): Allows the user to tame up to 10 monsters. Active: 50 Mp.]

Dismissing the notification, he proceeds to examine the secret chamber for any potential threats. The secret chamber was as big as an average gym, no, a bit bigger. Six big chest boxes were laid in front of him, forming a hexagonal along with the throne in the middle of the hexagonal.

He wasn't in a hurry to loot the chests nor find the hidden item. He made his way to the front of the throne. A small skeleton was chained up, locking its arms, legs, and neck. The skeleton was dressed in a used-to-be luxurious suit, but the bright color faded and the luxurious suite has decayed into rags over the long years.

The eye socket of the skeleton was a regrettable experience. The socket was filled with longings and the skull of the skeleton had unknowingly expressed its loneliness. Just like a child who has been abandoned by his family and is now suffering from loneliness for many years.

Its head was hanging low before barely lifting to see him approaching.

He smiled softly and said, "Do you want to come with me?"

The small skeleton tried to lift its arm, but the hand barely moved. The small skeleton AI system is extremely tall such that after failing to lift its arm. It immediately nodded once, twice, and thrice. Its longing was apparent.

He could only look on at the small skeleton that struggled to communicate. He said, "Welcome to the family, Boris Hawk. Tame." He put his hand in a forward motion before lights formed into a crest on the little skeleton's head.
